1 Background: Bangladesh Weather and Climate Services Regional Project intends to introduce a complete

package of weather forecast to improve accuracy and lead time for weather forecasts and multi-

hazard early warning, increased sharing of data and information for extreme regional events,

increase in number of end users satisfied by hydro-meteorological services and farmers

satisfaction with agro-meteorological services. The main objective of the proposed project is to

strengthen the capacity of Bangladesh Government in delivering weather and climate

information in priority sectors and to prepare for and respond to climate variability and hydro-

meteorological disasters. Proper implementation and right communication with stakeholders will

reduce the damages due to climate change and will play a major role through increasing GDP of

the country. This document is a framework for small and ethnic communities and other

vulnerable peoples development plan. More details are explained with the SMF of this project.

With a population of some 160 million and a land area of approximately 144000 square

kilometers, Bangladesh is densely populated. It is the third largest Muslim majority country of the

world. Over 85% of the population is Bengali Muslims; the remaining 15% are Hindu, with a very

small numbers are Christians and Buddhists. Ethnic and vulnerable communities comprise

about less than 1% (3 million) 12 of the population of Bangladesh living mainly in the Chittagong

Hill Tracts (CHT) and in rural communities in Mymensingh, Sylhet, Dinajpur and Rajshahi. There

are 45 recognized distinct different ethnic groups living in 28 districts of Bangladesh. Of the 45

tribes 13 are living in 3 CHT districts: Khagrachari, Rangamati and Banderban. The 13

indigenous groups in CHT possess separate identities, specific racial backgrounds, different

languages, and distinct heritage and culture. The largest groups are the Chakmas, Marmas, and

Tripuras. They differ in their social organization, marriage customs, birth and death rites, food

and other social customs from the people of the rest of the country. The other 32 ethnic

communities are scattered in 25 districts although there is good concentration of Garos in

greater Mymensingh and Gazipur and of Santals in greater Rajshahi district. There is lack of

information on their socioeconomic indicators. Ethnic communities largely speak Tibeto-Burman

languages.

The ethnic peoples everywhere are generally poorer than the mainstream peoples.Most tribal

peoples in CHT live in settlements in remote hills and valleys that are very difficult to access,

they still use lands for living and livelihood under the traditional/customary tenure not recognized

in the country’s land administration system. The areas they inhabit, especially in CHT, are

generally characterized by poor basic infrastructures like roads, schools, water supply and

sanitation, health care facilities, little knowledge about climate products and its benefits.

In Rangamati and Khagrachari, substantial parts of which have long been submergedby the

Kaptai Hydroelectric Project, many of the ethnic people lives on hilltops that dot the vast

expanse of waters. For them small country boats are the only means of transportation to go

anywhere and send their children to schools, some of which are quite far away from home.

These tribal groups do not have any idea about the meteorological services. It is important to

engage them with the project preparation and its implementation.



2 Objectives of SEVCDF: The SEVCDF is based on the World Bank’s Operational Policy 4.10 and is applicable to all sites

with the presence of small ethnic community populations. The main objectives of SEVCDF are

to:

Ensure the project activities and interventions uphold the social and cultural norms and

practices of the small ethnic community or other vulnerable communities.

Ensure that the project engages with the small ethnic communities in a free, prior and

informed consultation through processes that are appropriate to the local institutional

context, ensuring that their participation is meaningful in the entire process of

preparation, implementation and monitoring of the sub projects and related activities

Ascertain that the project does not inadvertently lead to or induce disempowerment, or

increase disparities between the small ethnic community/other vulnerable and

‘mainstream’ communities

Avoid, minimize and/or mitigate any kind of adverse impacts on small ethnic community

households, including on their livelihoods;

Establish appropriate strategies for information sharing, communication, training and

decision-making with the different small ethnic communities (women and men) at all

stages of the project

Ensure that the project benefits and investments are equally accessible to the small

ethnic groups and other vulnerable communities inhabiting the project area

Most of the small ethnic community peoples are small in number and arefully mainstreamed into

the local social, cultural and economic institutions due to their livelihood requirements. However,

given that there is a small presence of the small ethnic community peoples, the SEVCDF will

be incorporated within the overall project design. The need for a SEVCDF will be established at

the project preparation on the basis of screening using the following criteria:

Presence of small ethnic community and other vulnerable communities in the target

project cities.

Adverse impacts on customary rights of use and access to land and natural resources,

including common area and grazing lands

Negative impacts on socio-economic or cultural identity of small ethnic community or

other sub-groups.

Impacts that may undermine indigenous knowledge and customary institutions

Focused consultations with small ethnic community and other vulnerable communities

on interventions

3 Defining the tribal peoples

No single definition can capture the diversity of the tribal peoples, as they arefound in varied and



changing contexts. As such, Project will use the World Bank and other development partner

guidelines to identify tribal people in particular geographic areas by examining the following

characteristics.

Self-identification as members of a distinct indigenous cultural group and recognition of

this identity by others;

Collective attachment to geographically distinct habitats or ancestral territories in the

project area and to the natural resources in these habitats and territories;

Customary cultural, economic, social, or political institutions that are separate from those

of the dominant society and culture; and

A tribal language, often different from the official language of the country or region.

A group that has lost collective attachment to geographically distinct habitats or ancestral

territories in the project area because of forced severance also remains eligible for

coverage under World Bank’s safeguard policy. Table 06 shows the distribution of 45

indigenous communities living in 28 districts of the country. From the consultation

meetings and other

4 Project Impacts: Project will not affect any tribal people. As there is no major construction work due to the project

nature, all the equipments will be set up in the Upazila office premises. Tribal people will be benefited

from the project. Tribal people may receive training to run the new automated weather forecast

equipments.

5 Mitigation Measures: Though it is highly unlikely that the project will adversely affect any small ethnic and vulnerable

communities, the following mitigation measures will be taken from the project in case of such effects:



1. Resettlement and rehabilitation planning and preparation activities will be undertaken well

before displacement occurs, so that the communities can effectively participate in decision

making.

2. A preference for relocation in areas closed by the existing localities, to employment

opportunities and to infrastructure and services of weather information dissemination will be

followed.

3. Adequate compensation and assistance will be ensured through consultation with the

communities.

4. Livelihood restoration program for the vulnerable communities will be undertaken

5. Payment of full compensation prior displacement will be ensured

6. Formation of local compensation committee that includes representative of small ethnic and

vulnerable community groups and other vulnerable groups working with them

7. Assistance in restoration of livelihood for example; training program, loan facilities, credit etc.

7 Baseline Conditions: Project planning processes will include preparation of a baseline on the socio-economic profile

and resource dependence of the small ethnic groups in the project are, along with other relevant

information on the small ethnic population in the project area, such as their participation in

community decision-making, participation within local institutions and customs, and language

and cultural markers. Based on the consultations, key issues of the small ethnic community and

other marginalized groups with respect to project interventions would be summarized, and will

form part of the baseline. Every project plan will contain a separate section on the baseline

small ethnic group situation, if present. This baseline will be used in the preparation of the

SEVCDP and will include the following:

List of communities with presence of small ethnic communities and their identification

(name of small ethnic community, other marginalized social groups, if any);

Community-wise listing of all small ethnic and other marginalized households

Community-wise socio-economic profile of small ethnic and marginalized

groups/households and other social groups (occupations, land holdings, debt status,

etc.)

Details of any traditional forest usage rights of small ethnic and marginalized groups in

the area

Participatory assessment methods will be used during the planning stages, and the key issues

of small ethnic groups and other vulnerable communities will be summarized in SECVDP

Report.

8 Consultation with the ethnic community: Free, prior and informed consultations will be held with small ethnic and other vulnerable

communities, CBOs, NGOs, and small ethnic community institutions (if any) where small ethnic

community populations are found to be in the sub-project areas. These free, prior and informed

consultations will take place during resource development planning process, and their broad

community support will be documented. The following mechanisms will be followed:

Separate consultations with small ethnic and other vulnerable communities will be

organized for every such group identified during the sub-project preparation stage

Where small ethnic communities populations are in the minority, exclusive consultations

with small ethnic community women and men, leaders, NGOS, and any relevant

stakeholders to identify the priorities and strategies for ensuring small ethnic community

inclusion in project institutions, interventions, and project benefits

Fortnightly meetings in small ethnic communities for information sharing and

consultation during the planning stages;



Monthly meetings during the implementation stages of the project.

Project will enhance awareness of the project’s interventions among local small ethnic

community populations through timely and routine publication and dissemination of

information on the sub-project interventions in communication strategies that are locally

acceptable and understandable

9 Capacity Building The project will provide an action plan to address the capacity enhancement needs

of vulnerable groups including tribal communities and ensure that they will be able to

know real time information of climate related hazards and adopt mitigation measures.

BMD, BWDB and DAE will be involved in mobilizing the tribal people for group

formation and strengthening through training. Likewise capable members of local ethnic

groups, including women will be engaged by the concerned agencies of PMU to

undertake information dissemination works, preparing the beneficiary groups for

project activities and contributory works.

Development of beneficiary groups during the subcomponent implementation will

include social mobilization and information campaign, and skills upgrading.

Representation of the vulnerable groups and their active involvement in project activities

during and post implementation phases will increase their access to the services to be

provided by the project. These groups will also have sufficient opportunities for gaining

skills and getting other benefits of the project, such as income generation, developing

capacity for disaster mitigation etc.

Involvement of local media will uplift the advocacy organization at local level to promote

project benefit on more sustainable manner. It will act as useful tool particularly in the

field and the application of climate information in sectoral developments.

Mitigation measures will prioritize while addressing the susceptibility of diverse

vulnerable groups including ethnic groups.

The PMU will be actively involved in disseminating information on to the target groups

beneficiaries about the key project components, subcomponents, activities, eligibility and

selection criteria, stakeholder involvement, contribution of the project and project

implementation process.

10 Grievance Redress Mechanisms Wherever relevant and wherever traditional mechanisms are prevalent, grievance redress

mechanisms (GRM) will be customized for the needs of small ethnic and vulnerable community

people and to address the needs of small ethnic and vulnerable community communities. In

addition, wherever small ethnic and vulnerable community people are in large numbers, there

will be a small ethnic and vulnerable community representative in the grievance committees.

A two-tier bottom up GRC system will be established in this Project. First, there will be GRCs at

the local level, hereafter called Local GRC (union/municipality level); and second, GRC at the

project level to give room for grievances to be fairly reviewed. These GRCs will be established



through gazette notifications from the Ministry. The APs will be informed through public

consultation that they have a right to have their grievances redressed by the local committees

as well as by the project management. The APs can also call upon the support of the

implementing NGO (INGO) engaged to implement the RAP to assist them in presenting their

grievances or queries to the GRC. Other than disputes relating to ownership right under the

court of law, the GRC will review grievances involving all resettlement assistance, relocation

and other support. The local GRCs (at the union/municipal level) will hear the grievances first.

Only unresolved cases will be forwarded to the next tier – Project level GRC for further review

and resolution. Grievances will be redressed within a month from the date of lodging the

complaints. GRC decisions will be on a majority basis and will be disclosed and available for

review by the stakeholders. If any disputant is unhappy or unsatisfied with the outcome of the

Project level GRC, he/she may file cases in the court.

GRCs at the union/municipality level (community level) will be formed with representatives from

BWDB/DAE/BMD, local elected representatives from the Local Government Institutions (LGI),

representatives of the affected persons (preferably women representative in case of women

Apsbut have to be from the ethnic community), and RAP implementing NGO. There will be one

GRC at local (union/municipality) level by the project to make it accessible to affected people

both in terms of distance and time.

The Project-Level GRC will review all unresolved cases forwarded to by Local GRCs. It will be

headed by the Project Director (PD). The Project-level GRC with representation of senior

elected Upazila official and civil society member will further establish fairness and transparency

in the resolution of disputes or grievances. In specific cases, Project-level GRC may seek legal

advice from the INGO Legal Advisor or any external legal advisor, if required.

11 Monitoring and Reporting

PMU will be responsible for monitoring and evaluation of activities related to SECVDP. PMU,

with the help of the IA, will collect ethnicity-disaggregated data. IA will regularly analyze Project

output and impact indicators, including by ethnicity. A Gender and TP specialist may be

appointed who would build the capacity of the EA and relevant IA personnel to collect ethnicity-

disaggregated Project data and ensure that monitoring and evaluation procedures include

indicators for monitoring impact on the Project’s beneficiaries. PMU will provide World Bank any

related information for their review of performance and compliance with the World Bank policies.

12 Specific Measures Specific measures for vulnerable groups including indigenous peoples, tribal people,

minor ethnic communities, women, and powerless communities are outlined in following
